Remember the KnightRider!
I never claimed to be all that smart. Thats why I was outside today, frying, and finally putting in mounting tabs for my front sway bar quick disconnects. Hey, it was only about 200 degrees.
I used to not run my front sway bar at all, but when I got my trailer, I decided I wanted the extra stability. I have extended my sway bars appx 3.5" using black pipe nipples welded in between the greased swivel and the mount that holds the bar. Got that idea from Tools.
I picked up some pins from McMaster-Carr. They are 3/8 diameter, just a hair under the size of the stock bolts. I've been running them in place for the last 5-6 months to see how they fair.
I used 1/8" plate to make the bracket. I checked clearances at full droop and at full stuff and nothing interferes . At full droop, you can see I have about an inch of clearance at the driveshaft and at full stuff they don't even come close to anything. I meant to check, but I was getting roasted out there, I think I can turn my wheel full lock and access each side. If that doesn't work, I will have to roll under the rig to do it, but it's the best I can come up with to leave the sway bar in and disconnect it without removing it.
